Best way to not get overwhelmed and keep interested.
My mind is blown! There is so much I still need to learn about taking care and possibly breeding my shrimps in the future. I just started this hobby and I was in your guy’s shop a couple weeks ago and bought a skittles pack. The Neo’s are very healthy and vibrant and your staff was so nice and knowledgeable. You guys provide quality content on and off the channel! Thank you!
Oh I just *loved* those spotted red-heads! I am relatively new to this hobby but based on my own experiences so far: I agree with this guy on everything! I feed my shrimp very infrequently, water change even less frequently- and over time, it seems to going very well. With shrimp it really does seem that "stability" is the key. My favorite tank right now is also my "wild" tank. I started with a few really good specimens of several different types, and it's been so fun to see the subsequent generations develop cool new color combinations. A shrimp tank does not have to be "profitable" to be enjoyable!
Thank you, Cory! Great video. I appreciate the great people you introduce us to.
Very cool! I really like this setup and that he has basically adapted the shrimp over time to his water. Plus very low maintenance so more time to enjoy.
My mind is officially blown, who knew shrimp could be worth so much! They were absolutely stunning!!!!
Always interesting to see how expert shrimp breeders are able to hone how they raise shrimp! Crazy that he has Caridina’s breeding above 7.0 ph!

Eh you will lose a lot of shrimp in the beginning, If u willing to waste your money having your expensive shrimp die go ahead. Because only the strongest shrimp will survive, but the weaker ones will die, so in a sense, you will be wasting some money. However, I dont think I wanna wait for 3 years for my shrimp to adapt to ph7, I dont have the patient to wait for 3 years, I rather just keep them in acidic water so they can do well right away instead of waiting for 3 years for them to adapt and do well, because 3 years is a really long time to wait, that's like 36 months lol.
Wow this guy broke all the rules for keeping Caridina shrimp and still has a massive success, unbelievable! No wonder why his pH is 7.5 after 5 years because that akadama lost all buffering capacity many years ago and he can have the same luck with any inert substrate instead.

I think a lot of advicefor a lot of fish and inverts runs the overly cautious side. It's been interesting with my personal experiences keeping both otocinclus and neocaridina. No drip acclimation or anything special. Just plop and hope. Little bit of luck I'm guessing. The deaths I've had have mostly occurred from jumping or removal from uplift tubes.

What size are those single fish tanks in the racks ? They look perfect.
Astonishing in many ways.
That's my dream room till this day!
Thanks for your video. Red devil is my favourite

Love keeping shrimp, they are great fun to watch.

What a coincidence, I was just about to get some shrimp for my aquarium lol.

550 ppm here in usa néocardina tanks. Snowball types
Great video. Since there are no heaters in the tanks I was wondering what is the room temperature and what is the water temperature inside the tanks.. I assume that all of them have a lid, and most of them are the aquael or dennerle 20l/30lit tanks.. Also I found interesting that there was a tiny magnet for cleaning the glass in almost (if not all) tanks. I am wondering from which brand is that.
Absolutely epic!❤
Amazing shrimp!
Great breeder.
Love those shrimp
Are the buckets on the top rack for auto refill? Or is it something entirely different?
Thrilling!
What size are those tanks on the wall racks?
What tanks does he have?! They look so nice
Beautiful shrimp….
Can someone tell us what kind of akadama soil we can use. ? Is it all the same ? Would really love to know more about his set ups. Thx 🙏
Does anyone know what are the proportions of the tanks length?

The most incredible thing to me is that he has full acrylic tank room. O.o you never see that.
What are the tank specs? They look like a aqueon 7g but I don’t see branding really, I love the three tanks to one light set up curious on specifics.
What is the soil substrate used?
what kind of substrate is that? the brown one in the first part of the video? very cool shrimp room!

i think its akadama. its actually a soil for bonsai trees, but shrimp keepers use it because I believe it buffers the ph
this man is a legend
If you happen to go to Canada, there's another great shrimp store called ShrimpFever
How many gallons are those tanks
I kind of wish Chris would have stayed quiet a little more and let the breeder talk. It's not a great interview when the interviewer is trying so hard to show off and give the tour of someone else's animal room. There's so much we could have learned here like Cory's interview with Charles Clapsaddle. But it's all cut off, drowned out, and lost to time now. I hope you can go back here some day for a better conversation Cory.

Doesn't look like he uses a heater (I didn't see any in the tanks). The sponge filters are really a common style. I believe Marks Shrimp Tanks uses a similar set up for both the sponges and akadama soil.
He should get an apprentice. I would love to see these beautiful shrimp carry on as his legacy.

Its interesting, in this video Olgan said he changes the water every 8 or 10 weeks. In another video he said every 2 or 3 weeks. In this video he said pH 7 to 7.5, in the other video pH is 6 to 6.5. He use tap water with about 150 tds. Really tap water? But there is kH in there. Iam confused.
